PREFACE. 


This  pedigree  of  the  Hart  family  was  projected  some  thirty  years 
since  by  Deacon  Simeon  Hart,  of  Farmington,  Conn.  He  was  son  of 
Simeon  of  Burlington,  Conn.  ;  was  a  graduate  of  Yale  College,  and  a 
noted  educator — a  man  every  way  fitted  for  the  task,  having  a  natural 
taste  for  history,  and  more  especially  for  antiquarian  research.  His 
adopted  home  was  also  the  home  of  the  Harts.  Here  the  progenitor, 
Dea.  Stephen  Hart,  fixed  his  residence,  raised  his  family,  made  his 
mark  in  the  world,  and  here  he  died.  Here,  also,  are  found  the  land 
records  of  the  Harts  for  many  generations,  as  well  as  other  town  and 
probate  records  ;  so  that  Mr.  Hart  had  the  material  for  starting  such 
a  work  as  this  at  hand,  even  at  his  door. 

He  spent  his  leisure  hours  for  several  years  over  the  work  of  cor- 
responding, traveling,  and  searching  the  various  records,  both  public 
and  private,  until  he  verily  thought  he  had  almost  accomplished  the 
object  intended.  I  have  been  told  he  began  to  think  of  putting  the 
work  to  press,  when  he  was  taken  suddenly  ill,  and  died  April  30th, 
1853,  when  it  was  supposed  all  his  labor  in  this  direction  was  lost. 
After  a  delay  of  some  time,  and  a  sad  feeling  of  disappointment  on 
the  part  of  Mrs.  Hart,  the  widow,  it  was  proposed  that  Rev.  Wm.  S. 
Porter,  of  Farmington,  (but  later  of  New  Haven,)  a  friend  of  the  de- 
ceased, and  a  man  of  much  experience  in  writing  up  family  pedigree-, 
should  finish  the  work  and  put  it  to  press.  But  he  was  poor,  and 
could  not  work  without  pay.  Mrs.  Hart,  with  her  family  of  little 
ones,  could  not  advance  funds,  and  here  again  was  a  dilemma.  Prof. 
John  S.  Hart,  LL.  D.,  of  Philadelphia,  was  applied  to,  either  to  finish 
and  publish,  or  devise  ways  and  means  to  have  it  done.  But  he  de- 
clined politely ;  probably  he  knew  that  in  all  jobs  of  this  kind  money 
went  out,  but  none  came  in.  "Well,  as  "necessity  is  the  mother  of  in- 
vention," the  proposition  then  was  to  raise,  by  subscription  among  the 
Harts  near  by,  a  sum  of  money,  to  be  deposited  in  the  Farmington 
Savings  Bank,  with  which  Mr.  Porter  could  be  paid  for  his  time  and 
expense.  The  sum  of  three  hundred  dollars  was  raised  and  deposited, 
on  condition  that  it  be  refunded  to  the  donors  should  the  work  or 
book  fail  of  being  published.  In  the  meantime,  Mr.  Porter  had  so 
2

far  perfected  the  MS.  that  he  concluded  it  was  ready,  or  about  ready, 
for  the  printer,  when  he  too  died,  and  the  money  was  refunded  and 
the  enterprize  abandoned,  and  the  papers  laid  away  for  the  moths  to 
eat  and  oblivion  to  brood  over. 

In  passing,  perhaps  I  ought  to  say  there  was  a  donation  or  subscrip- 
tion from  the  South,  I  think  one  of  the  Harts  in  South  Carolina,  of 
twenty-five  dollars,  never  refunded  ;  probably  went  directly  into  Mr. 
Porter's  hands.  In  the  meantime  I  had  published  my  history  of  New 
Britain,  in  1867,  which  contained  a  partial  history  of  some  three  hund- 
red Harts — parents  and  children,  and  a  friend  of  mine  (an  expert  in 
pedigree)  suggested,  since  I  had  at  hand  so  much  Hart  history,  I  could, 
and  perhaps  ought,  to  publish  a  work  exclusively  on  the  Hart  family. 
Then  I  had  never  examined  the  MS.  of  Hart  and  Porter  above,  and 
called  on  Mrs.  Hart  for  the  loan  of  it.  My  friend  said  to  me,  after 
an  examination,  if  you  will  correspond  and  gather  facts  and  dates  and 
print  it,  I  will  collate  the  families  and  make  an  index.  This  was 
about  four  years  ago,  and  we  have  been  busy  ever  since  in  perfecting 
the  work  and  preparing  it  for  the  press.  We  have  insisted  upon  hav- 
ing full  names  and  full  dates  in  all  cases,  both  males  and  females,  be- 
lieving mere  initials  or  half -dates  are  too  much  of  a  nuisance  to  be 
borne  or  tolerated  by  Antiquaries.  We  have  worked  for  nothing  and 
kept  ourselves,  furnishing  stationery  and  stamps  for  correspondence — 
except  a  donation  of  twenty  dollars  from  Mrs.  Almira  Hart  Lincoln 
Phelps,  of  Baltimore,  for  which  she  has  our  thanks. 

I  should  never  have  undertaken  the  task  except  for  the  help  and 
encouragement  of  my  friend  and  associate,  Gad  Andrews,  Esq.,  of 
Southington,  above  alluded  to ;  so  the  Hart  family  may  consider  them- 
selves indebted  to  him  for  what  both  of  us  have  done.  But  some  one 
may  say,  how  is  this  ?  we  thought  Dea.  Hart  had  almost  finished  the 
work,  and  since  that  Mr.  Porter  had  finished  it  again,  how  then  could 
there  be  so  much  labor  left  ?  In  reply  it  might  be  said,  since  Dea. 
Hart  began  a  whole  generation  have  been  born,  and  a  generation 
more  numerous  than  all  that  went  before  them,  for  they  have  multi- 
plied exceedingly  (like  the  Israelites),  and  have  filled  the  land — fam- 
ilies numbering  from  six  to  seventeen  children.  When  I  told  one 
man,  a  Hart,  what  I  was  about,  he  replied,  "you  are  a  fool — you  can't 
write  them  down  as  fast  as  they  are  born."  Now  although  this  is  not 
literally  and  strictly  true,  yet  it  is  comparatively  so.  The  great  labor 
is  not  in  writing  them  down,  but  in  finding  the  names,  dates,  and  loca- 
tion of  parties.  Previous  to  the  Eevolutionary  war  almost  every 
family  had  the  births,  marriages,  and  deaths  on  the  public  records,  as 
well  as  in  the  old  family  Bible;  now  a  large  majority  dispense  with 
the  Bible  record,  and  less  than  one-third  of  the  people  have  any  writ-

ten  family  record  at  all,  and  when  called  upon  for  a  copy  of  their 
family  record,  don't  seem  to  know  what  you  mean,  or  what  to  say  in 
response,  and  after  a  delay  of  three  months,  six  months,  or  in  some 
cases  a  year,  and  by  a  repetition  of  other  letters  of  enquiry,  they  are 
at  length  forced  to  answer  as  best  they  can  from  tradition  or  recollec- 
tion. The  Hart  family  are  not  more  culpable  or  indifferent  than 
others ;  my  experience  for  twenty  years'  enquiry  shows  all  f amiles  very 
much  alike  in  this  respect.  Some  people  see  no  use  in  such  a  work  as 
this — it  deals  too  much  with  the  past,  A  young  man  in  active  busi- 
ness in  New  York  city  said  to  me — "what  do  I  care  for  the  past,  who 
my  grandfather  was,  or  my  great  grandfather:  show  me  how  to  make 
a  dollar  and  I  will  listen  to  you."  Others  say,  this  is  a  book  specula- 
tion, a  swindle;  they  have  found  that  the  Harts  have  money  in  the 
Bank  of  England,  and  they  are  f orestalling  them  to  secure  the  money. 
I  have  heard  that  families  have  withheld  the  desired  information  from 
such  apprehensions.  Notwithstanding  all  the  difficulties  and  disad- 
vantages alluded  to,  it  is  hoped  and  expected  that  the  following  pages 
will  afford  much  information,  instruction,  and  entertainment  to  the 
reader,  especially  that  portion  advanced  in  life,  who  always  look  lack 
on  the  road  they  have  trodden,  while  the  young  look  forward,  hoping 
for  future  good.  Money-making  is  the  very  last  thing  hoped  for  or 
expected  in  a  work  of  this  kind.  Somebody  has  to  advance  or  donate 
a  considerable  sum  of  money  to  help  it  through  the  press,  and  wait 
some  months  or  years  for  the  sales  to  pay  even  the  printer's  bills — to 
say  nothing  of  the  thirty  years  of  labor  bestowed  and  money  ad- 
vanced to  accomplish  the  end  desired.  No  pains  or  expense  has  been 
spared  to  make  the  work  perfect  and  complete.  Books  of  reference 
have  been  used,  friends  consulted,  records  exhausted,  and  every  avail- 
able means  adopted  to  make  the  work  full  and  correct.  The  sketches 
of  individuals  will  be  found  more  or  less  complete  and  satisfactory, 
according  to  the  material  furnished  by  the  parties  themselves,  if  liv- 
ing, or  if  deceased,  by  their  friends,  or  public  records  for  the  genera- 
tions past.  One  man  at  the  West  demurred  to  respond  to  enquiries 
because  my  name  was  Andrews,  and  I  had  to  explain  and  conciliate 
by  saying  my  first  wife  was  a  Hart,  my  eldest  aunt  married  a  Hart,  I 
was  born  in  1797  among  the  Harts,  was  raised  and  lived  seventy-seven 
years  a  neighbor  to  them,  wrote  a  history  of  some  three  hundred  of 
them  in  1869.  and  hence  felt  an  interest  in  the  matter.  After  thus 
defining  my  position  the  man  was  gained,  and  a  good  response  too. 
Hence  it  appears  that  a  large  share  of  the  indifference  manifested 
arises  from  misapprehension,  or  ignorance  of  the  object  and  purpose 
designed  by  the  author. 

The  old  town  of  Farmington,  so  rich  in  early  history,  is  the  mother

PREFACE. 


of  the  Hart  family,  a  family  very  numerous,  honorable,  and  highly 
distinguished  for  piety,  industry,  and  patriotism.  Eev.  Dr.  Smalley 
settled  in  1758  in  New  Britain,  then  a  parish  of  Farmington,  had  his 
congregation  largely  composed  of  Stanleys  and  Harts,  and  used  to 
say  he  looked  to  Harts  for  grace,  and  Stanleys  for  money — probably 
the  saying  was  more  appropriate  then,  than  it  would  be  now,  a  century 
later.  It  is  thought  the  Hart  family  were  formerly  rather  above  a 
medium  size,  dark  complexioned,  with  dark  hair  and  eyes;  this,  how- 
ever, would  not  be  true  in  all  cases.  It  has  been  said  of  the  Harts, 
that  they  were  domestic,  had  a  great  love  of  home,  seldom  wandered 
far  for  a  settlement  in  life ;  that  they  were,  on  the  contrary,  more  in- 
clined to  be  clanish.  This  may  be  true  of  former  generations,  per- 
haps, but  would  not  apply  to  the  present.  They  now  scatter  far  and 
wide,  from  Saybrook  in  Connecticut,  to  the  Pacific  coast,  and  are  found 
in  all  intermediate  places,  states,  and  some  in  the  British  possessions. 
I  have  attempted  to  locate  them  all,  and  give  the  avocation  of  each 
male  head  of  a  family,  but  have  failed  too  often  for  want  of  informa- 
tion. The  patriotism  of  the  family  is  proved  by  the  great  number 
found  in  the  ranks  of  the  armies  of  17V 5,  1812,  and  1861,  either  as 
officers  or  privates.  I  have  found  over  two  hundred  and  fifty  names 
of  Harts  as  soldiers,  and  many  are  doubtless  omitted  from  the  list 
for  want  of  information.  The  learned  professions  are  well  represented, 
especially  clergymen  and  physicians,  but  lawyers  and  authors  are  not 
numerous.  I  have  gathered  them  in  groups  in  the  introduction  to  the 
history  of  the  family,  that  the  reader  may  see  a  kind  of  summary  at 
a  glance.  * 

In  the  construction  of  this  pedigree  I  have  followed  the  plan  of 
numbering  used  in  my  former  published  works,  which  in  their  use 
have  proved  satisfactory.  I  refer  to  my  History  of  New  Britain,  pub- 
lished in  1867,  and  my  Andrews  Memorial,  published  in  1873.  The 
index  used  in  the  Andrews  and  Hart  memorials  is  unlike  any  other 
ever  published  (it  is  thought),  saving  much  waste  of  time  to  the  reader 
and  much  perplexity  of  mind.  The  peculiarity  referred  to  is  this :  after 
a  person  has  a  number  prefixed  to  his  or  her  name,  the  father's  and 
grandfather's  name  follows,  or  is  annexed,  so  that  a  person  knowing 
father  and  grandfather  will  find  his  or  her  history  without  a  mistake 
or  delay;  thus  the  labor  of  finding  one's  own  name  in  a  list  of  fifty  to 
one  hundred  similar  names  is  greatly  facilitated.  In  addition  to  those 
already  mentioned  as  helps,  I  am  under  obligations  to  Col.  William 
Seward  Gridley,  of  Jackson,  Mich.,  who  is  preparing  a  Gridley  pedi- 
gree; to  Dr.  D.  Williams  Patterson,  of  Newark  Valley,  N.  Y.,  who  is 
an  expert  in  pedigree  hunting;  and  last,  but  not  least,  to  Rev.  James

Dickinson,  of  Middlefield.  Conn.,  for  free  access  to  his  very  extensive 
and  valuable  library. 

With  these  preliminary  remarks,  which  seemed  to  be  necessary  to 
define  my  position,  I  submit  the  following  pages  to  the  very  numerous 
posterity  of  a  puritan  and  venerated  progenitor.  Should  the  present 
living  generation  be  led  to  honor  their  parents  more,  and  be  more  in- 
clined to  perpetuate  their  memory,  and  the  generations  to  come  who 
peruse  this  volume  be  induced  to  imitate  the  virtues  of  their  pious  an- 
cestors, one  great  object  of  the  writer  will  be  attained. 

I  must  not  forget  or  neglect  to  say,  that  the  Hart  family  are  in- 
debted to  Austin  Hart,  Esq..  a  lawyer  of  New  Britain,  Conn.,  for  an 
engraving  representing  the  face  of  Dea.  Simeon  Hart,  and  placed  as 
frontispiece  of  this  work,  and  who  also  has  generously  volunteered  to 
publish  the  work  itself.  This  he  does  without  a  subscription  list  to 
back  him  up,  or  recourse  to  any  fund,  but  relies  entirely  upon  the 
liberality  of  the  family  to  patronize  its  sale,  so  that  the  expenses  may 
be  met  promptly  for  paper,  printing,  and  binding. 

I  am  also  under  obligations  to  "W\  W.  H.  Davis,  author  of  a  pedi- 
gree and  history  of  John  Hart,  the  Quaker,  who  came  over  with  ¥m. 
Penn,  and  settled  near  Philadelphia  in  1682.  From  this  pamphlet  I 
have  made  several  extracts  in  constructing  my  Introduction,  calling 
them  miscellaneous  Harts.

New  Beitain,  Conn.,  Aug.  4th,  1874. 


INTRODUCTION. 


The  name  of  Hart  seems  to  be  common  to  several  nationalities  ; — 
England  has  its  Harts,  Scotland  and  Ireland.  The  origin  of  the  name 
is  not  made  known.  Whether  it  obtained  a  place  from  David's  beau- 
tiful animal  that  panted  for  the  water  brooks,  does  not  fully  appear. 
The  variety  in  spelling  is  not  as  great  as  appears  in  many  other  names. 
The  prevailing  is  simply  Hart, — occasionally  Hartt,  Harte,  Heart,  and 
Hearte.  Maj.  Jonathan  Hart,  of  Kensington,  Conn.,  (in  some  respects 
the  most  distinguished  man  of  the  race,)  always  spelt  and  signed 
Heart.  Edmund  Harte,  (supposed  to  be  a  brother  of  Deacon  Stephen 
Hart,  who  stands  at  the  head  of  this  u Hart  Memorial"  as  progenitor,) 
has  his  name  in  a  list  of  those  who  took  the  freeman's  oath  May  14th, 
1634,  as  spelled  above, — Harte  ;  while  his  brother,  Stephen,  is  in  the 
same  list  of  Winthrop's  New  England, — Hart.  So  that  a  difference 
in  spelling  (as  is  the  case  with  many  other  families,)  does  not  determine 
the  race  or  family  to  which  they  belong.  The  history  of  Dorchester, 
Mass.,  makes  Edmund  Hart,  above,  one  of  the  first  settlers  of  that 
town,  and  had  his  house  lot  1632,  but  subsequently  removed  to  Wey- 
mouth. Savage  makes  his  children  all  daughters,  and  thus  his  name 
disappeared.  Honest  John  Hart,  (as  he  is  called,)  born  at  Hopewell, 
N.  J.,  and  who  died  there  at  an  advanced  age,  in  1780,  was  the  son 
of  Edward,  a  farmer.  He  passed  the  early  portion  of  his  life  on  his 
estate,  and  being  often  elected  to  the  colonial  assembly,  was  promi- 
nent, especially  in  legislating  for  local  improvements.  In  1774,  he 
was  chosen  to  the  G-eneral  Congress,  at  Philadelphia,  where  he  was 
noted  for  his  sound  judgment  and  inflexible  determination  ;  he  was 
re-elected  the  two  following  years,  and  signed  the  declaration  of  Inde- 
pendence with  peculiar  zeal.  New  Jersey  was  soon  invaded  by  the 
British  army  ;  the  estate  of  Mr.  Hart  was  devastated,  and  special  ex- 
ertions were  made  to  take  him  prisoner.  He  fled  from  his  family  and 
wandered  through  the  woods,  from  cottage  to  cottage,  and  from  cave 
to  cave,  constantly  hunted  by  his  enemies,  so  that  he  never  ventured 
to  sleep  twice  in  the  same  place.  The  capture  of  the  Hessians,  by 
Washington,  allowed  him  to  return  to  his  estate,  on  which  he  passed 
the  remainder  of  his  life.    His  descendants  are  somewhat  numerous

and  are  scattered  over  the  south  and  west.  He  had  two  sons  in  the 
war  of  the  Revolution.— Edward  and  Daniel.  He  has  a  grandson, 
Joseph,  living  on  the  top  of  Rich  Mountain,  in  West  Virginia,  1874, 
who  is  over  seventy-six  years  of  age,  whose  farm  was  a  part  of  the 
battle-field  in  the  late  war,  who,  with  his  family,  were  loyal  to  our  flag, 
and  who  had  five  sons  in  the  Union  army.  His  long  letter,  of  eleven 
pages  foolscap,  is  before  me,  full  of  the  same  kind  of  patriotism  that 
moved  his  grandfather,  honest  John  Hart,  the  signer  of  the  Declara- 
tion of  American  Independence.  He  represents  the  view  from  the 
top  of  Rich  Mountain  as  beautiful  beyond  all  description.  H.  S.  Hart, 
of  Circleville,  Kansas,  is  a  great-grandson  of  John,  the  signer  of  the 
Declaration. 

Joel  T.  Hart,  an  American  sculptor,  was  born  in  Clark  Co.,  Ky., 
about  1810  :  he  was  of  humble  parentage,  and  while  a  boy.  found 
employment  in  building  chimneys,  and  other  kinds  of  mason  work. 
His  education  was  restricted  to  a  quarter's  schooling,  but  he  became 
an  indefatigable  reader  of  such  books  as  came  within  his  reach,  spend- 
ing his  evenings  over  them  by  the  light  of  a  wood  fire.  In  1830,  he 
entered  a  stone  cutter's  establishment  in  Lexington.  By  degrees,  he 
was  induced  to  attempt  modeling  busts  in  clay,  and  succeeded  in 
obtaining  good  likenesses  of  many  influential  persons  in  Lexington, 
and  elsewhere  in  the  West.  Among  others.  Gen.  Jackson  and  Cassius 
M.  Clay  sat  to  him,  and  the  latter  gave  him  his  first  commission  for  a 
bust  in  marble.  The  work,  when  completed,  proved  so  satisfactory, 
that  the  artist  was  commissioned  by  the  Ladies'  Clay  Association  of 
Virginia,  to  execute  a  marble  statue  of  Henry  Clay.  He  commenced

shipped  it  to  Italy,  to  be  executed  in  marble.  He  reached  Florence 
in  the  latter  part  of  1849,  and  after  waiting  a  whole  year  for  the  arrival 
of  his  model,  which  had  been  lost  by  shipwreck  in  the  Bay  of  Biscay, 
was  obliged  to  send  to  Lexington  for  a  duplicate.  This,  and  other 
delays,  protracted  the  completion  of  the  work  for  several  years,  and 
it  was  not  until  the  29th  of  August,  1859,  that  the  statue  was  shipped 
for  the  United  States.  In  the  interim  Mr.  Hart  had  executed  many 
busts  of  eminent  men,  and  some  ideal  works.  He  is  now  engaged 
upon  a  colossal  statue  of  Henry  Clay,  for  the  city  of  New  Orleans. 

Solomon  Alexander  Hart,  an  English  painter  of  history,  was  born  in 
Plymouth.  April.  1806.  He  commenced  his  career  by  painting  minia- 
tures, but  in  1828,  turned  his  attention  to  historical  subjects,  and  at 
once  achieved  a  reputation  by  painting  some  scenes  from  the  Jewish 
ceremonial,  which  his  Jewish  origin  enabled  him  to  treat  con  amore. 
He  next  painted  scenes  from  Scott  and  Shakespeare,  and  the  romantic 
episodes  of  history  ;  and  again,  between  1845-50,  recurred  to  Jewish

subjects.  He  has  also  shown  a  strong  partiality  for  subjects  illustrating 
the  ceremonials  of  the  Roman  Catholic  church.  He  possesses  great 
technical  power,  and  a  feeling  for  the  picturesque,  and  his  works  are 
popular.  In  1840,  he  became  an  academician,  and  in  1864,  succeeded 
Mr.  Leslie  as  Professor  of  Painting  in  the  Royal  Academy. 

William  Hart,  an  American  painter,  was  born  in  Paisley,  Scotland, 
in  1823.  Emigrating  with  his  parents  to  the  United  States,  in  1831, 
he  settled  in  Albany,  and  in  a  few  years  was  apprenticed  to  Messrs. 
Eaton  &  Gilbert,  coach  makers,  in  Troy,  by  whom  he  was  employed 
to  paint  the  panels  of  coaches.  He  subsequently  painted  landscapes, 
portraits,  and  even  window  shades.  Since  1848,  he  has  been  a  regular 
exhibitor  at  the  National  Academy  of  Design,  of  which,  in  1858,  he 
was  elected  an  academician,  having  for  ten  years  previous  been  an 
associate.  He  has  for  some  years  been  a  resident  of  New  York. 
James  M.,  brother  of  "William,  born  in  Kilmarnock,  Ayrshire,  Scot- 
land, in  1828,  a  landscape  painter,  also  commenced  life  as  a  coach 
maker,  and  like  his  brother,  was  induced,  by  a  natural  taste  for  art,  to 
adopt  the  profession  of  landscape  painter.  In  1851,  he  went  to  Dus- 
seldorf,  where  he  spent  nearly  a  year  under  the  instruction  of  Schrir- 
mer.  He  returned  to  Albany,  in  1852,  and  in  1856,  he  removed  to 
New  York.  In  1857,  he  was  elected  an  associate  of  the  Academy  of 
Design,  and  in  1859,  an  academician. 

Oliver  Hart,  M.  A.,  an  eminent  minister  of  Charleston,  S.  C,  was 
born  in  Warminster,  Pa.,  in  1723,  baptized  in  1740,  on  profession  of 
faith,  and  ordained  to  the  Gospel  ministry  in  1749.  The  same  year  he 
succeeded  Mr.  Chandler,  at  Charleston,  as  pastor  of  the  Baptist  Church, 
where  he  labored  honorably  and  successfully  for  thirty  years.  Many 
owned  him  as  a  spiritual  father,  among  whom  was  Rev.  Dr.  Stillman, 
of  Boston.  Mr.  Hart  was  a  self-educated  man.  His  countenance  was 
open  and  manly,  his  voice  clear,  harmonious,  and  commanding,  the 
powers  of  his  mind  were  strong  and  capacious,  enriched  by  a  fund  of 
knowledge,  classical,  scientific,  and  theological,  and  his  taste  was  ele- 
gant and  refined.  He  composed  much  devotional  poetry  ; — but  as  a 
Christian  and  pastor  was  most  conspicuous.  He  walked  with  God  ; 
the  doctrines  of  free  and  efficacious  grace  were  precious  to  him  ;  his 
desire  for  usefulness  was  ardent  and  incessant.  He  was  a  prime  mover 
in  forming  an  Association  of  the  churches  ; — he  also  originated  a 
society  for  educating  young  ministers  of  the  Gospel  to  enlarged  use- 
fulness. In  1775,  he  was  chosen  by  the  council  of  safety,  to  travel,  in 
conjunction  with  Rev.  Wm.  Tennent  and  Hon.  Wm.  H.  Drayton,  in 
the  interior,  to  conciliate  the  inhabitants  of  South  Carolina  to  the 
measures  of  Congress.  In  consequence  of  his  successful  efforts  in  this 
way,  he  was  obliged  to  leave  Charleston,  in  1780,  to  avoid  falling  into

chased of  William  Penn,  before  they  left  England.  He  was  elected  a

sons,  Joseph,  Silas,  and  Oliver,  and  one  daughter.  Edith,  living  at  his

in  17-43,  he  was  killed  by  the  accidental  discharge  of  a  gun  in  his  own 
hands. 

Joseph  Hart  became  a  great  patriot,  and  a  distinguished  officer,  in 
the  days  of  the  revolution,— being  best  known  as  Col.  Hart  ;  he  had 
the  confidence  of  Gen.  Washington  through  the  war,  and  was  very 
active.  He  was  appointed,  in  1784,  one  of  the  judges  of  the  Court  of 
Common  Pleas  and  Quarter  Sessions  of  the  county,  an  office  which  he 
held  till  his  death,  which  occurred  at  "Warminster,  in  1788.  at  the  age 
of  72  years  ;  his  remains  were  interred  at  Southampton,  near  those  of 
his  wife,  Elizabeth,  who  had  died  only  six  days  previous,  aged  74  years. 

John  Hart,  2d,  son  of  Col.  Joseph  Hart,  born  in  1743,  at  Warminster, 
the  old  homestead,  became  a  man  of  some  note  ;  he  married,  in  1767, 
Rebecca  Rees,  who  died  soon  after.  He  espoused  warmly  the  cause 
of  Independence, — was  appointed  deputy  recorder  and  treasurer  of 
the  county  of  Bucks,  and  resided  at  Xewtown,  where  there  were  many 
tories.  One  evening,  while  seated  at  the  tea  table,  some  fifteen  ruf- 
fians rushed  into  his  house,  surrounded  him,  and  presenting  their  pis- 
tols at  his  head,  demanded  his  treasure  ;  after  robbing  his  house,  they 
repaired  to  his  office,  broke  it  open,  and  took  therefrom  73  5 I.  17 s.  9±d. 
in  hard  money,  which  belonged  to  the  effective  supplies  of  Bucks 
county  for  the  year  1781.  One  of  the  robbers  was  subsequently 
hanged  for  a  greater  crime. 

Mrs.  Barbara  D.  E.  Hart  died  at  Harrisburg,  Pa.,  July  16th,  1874, 
aged  101  years  and  6  months.

used  in  crossing  the  Connecticut  River  at  a  low  stage  of  the  water, 
and  so  from  Hart's  Ford  it  soon  became  Hartford,  from  a  natural  and 
easy  transition.  Tradition  further  says  that  as  he  and  others  were  on 
a  hunting  excursion  on  Talcott  Mountain,  they  discovered  the  Farm- 
ington  River  Valley,  then  inhabited  by  the  Tunxis,  a  powerful  tribe 
of  Indians.  The  meadows  were  probably  then  cleared,  and  waving 
with  grass  and  Indian  corn.  Such  lands  were  then  much  needed  and 
coveted  by  the  settlers,  who  soon — probably  as  soon  as  1640 — made  a 
bargain  with  the  Indians,  and  settled  among  them  with  their  cattle. 
They  still  continued,  however,  connected  with  the  settlement  at  Hart- 
ford, attended  public  worship,  and  perhaps  wintered  there,  until  about 
1645,  when  the  town  was  incorporated  by  the  name  of  Farmington, 
from  the  excellent  farms  there.*  About  this  time  Mr.  Roger  Newton, 
a  student  in  theology  with  Rev.  Thomas  Hooker,  whose  daughter  he 
married,  began  to  preach  for  them,  and  in  1652  was  ordained  their 
pastor.  Stephen  Hart  was  one  of  the  seven  pillars  of  the  church,  and 
was  chosen  their  first  deacon.  The  other  pillars  were  Rev.  Roger 
Newton,  pastor,  John  Cole  (Cowles),  John  Bronson,  Robert  Porter, 
Thomas  Judd,  and  Thomas  Thompson. 

Stephen  Hart  appears  to  have  taken  the  lead  in  the  settlement  among 
the  Indians  in  Farmington,  and  purchased  a  large  tract  on  the  border 
of  the  present  town  of  Avon,  and  known  to  this  day  by  the  name  of 
Hart's  Farm.f  He  was  one  of  the  first  representatives  in  1647,  and 
continued,  with  one  exception,  for  fifteen  sessions,  until  1655,  and 
once  in  1660.  In  short,  no  man  in  the  town  was  more  active,  influen- 
tial, and  useful.  His  house-lot,  which  was  four  or  five  times  as  large 
as  any  other,  was  on  the  west  side  of  Main  Street,  in  the  village,  oppo- 
site the  meeting-house,  and  contained  fifteen  acres,  extending  from 
Mill  Lane  to  the  stone  store  south.  This  large  house-lot  was  granted 
to  Deacon  Stephen  Hart  as  an  inducement  to  erect  and  continue  a  mill 
on  the  premises,  to  be  perpetuated  and  kept  in  motion.  The  mill  was 
erected  originally  by  the  Bronsons,  to  whom,  as  a  consideration,  was 
granted,  viz:  a  tract  of  eighty  acres,  on  the  Pequabuk  River,  now 
known  as  the  "Eighty  Acre."  The  south  part  of  this  house-lot  he 
gave  to  his  son  John,  and  the  north  part  to  his  son  Thomas.  Thomas 

*  The  principal  leaders  in  this  settlement  were  John  Steele,  William  Lewis,  Stephen 
Hart,  Thomas  Judd,  John  Bronson,  John  Warner,  Nathaniel  Kellogg,  Thomas 
Barnes,  Richard  Seymour,  and  Thomas  Gridley.

They  resided  in  Farmington,  where  he  was  made  a  freeman  by  the 
General  Court,  at  their  May  session,  1654.  Sarah,  his  wife,  joined  the 
church  at  Farmington,  Oct.  19th,  1653;  he  was  admitted  to  the  church 
April  2d,  1 654.  He  was  one  of  the  first  settlers  of  Tunxis,  and  bought 
his  house  lot  of  the  original  owners,  and  among  the  list  of  the  eighty- 
four  proprietors  of  1672,  is  numbered  the  "Estate  of  John  Hart."  At 
the  October  session  of  the  General  Court,  in  1660,  a  committee  was 
raised  to  examine  "  Thirty  Mile  Island"  with  the  view  of  settlement, 
when  John  Hart,  of  Farmington,  was  elected  one  of  said  committee. 
His  sad  and  untimely  death  occurred  on  this  wise,  viz.:  his  house, 
which  was  located  near  the  center  of  the  village,  was  fired  in  the  night 
by  Indians,  and  he  and  all  his  family,  with  the  exception  of  his  eldest 
son,  John,  who  was  that  night  at  Nod,  or  Northington,  since  called 
Avon,  looking  after  the  stock  on  a  farm  they  owned  there,  perished 
in  the  flames.  What  aggravated  the  public  calamity  was  the  burning 
of  the  town  records,  at  the  same  time.  The  General  Court  made  dili- 
gent search  among  the  Tunxis  tribe  for  the  incendiaries,  but  this 
neither  restored  life  nor  records.    This  fire  occurred  ,  1666.

memorial: 

In  the  name  of  God,  Amen.  I,  Selah  Hart,  of  Berlin,  in  the  County 
of  Hartford,  and  State  of  Connecticut,  in  America,  being,  through  the 
goodness  of  God,  in  health  and  of  a  sound  mind  and  memory,  consid- 
ering the  uncertainty  of  life,  knowing  it  is  appointed  unto  all  men  once 
to  die,  do  make  and  ordain  this  my  last  Will  and  Testament,  in  man- 
ner and  form  as  follows:  That  is  to  say,  first,  and  principally,  I  give 
and  recommend  my  soul  to  God,  who  gave  it,  hoping,  through  the 
merits  of  Jesus  Christ,  to  obtain  the  forgiveness  of  all  my  sins,  and  to 
inherit  eternal  life;  and  my  body  I  commit  to  the  earth,  out  of  which 
it  was  taken,  to  be  decently  buried. 

I  give  to  my  dear  wife,  Ruth  Hart,  for  her  sole  use  and  disposal,  my 
chaise,  the  whole  of  my  household  furniture,  one-half  of  my  other 
movable  property  which  shall  remain  after  my  debts  are  paid.  Also, 
I  give  to  her,  during  her  natural  life,  the  use  and  improvement  of  one  • 
half  of  my  real  estate,  the  use  of  one-half  of  my  dwelling-house  at  the 
south  end,  and  one-half  of  my  wood-house  and  corn  house,  and  also 
one-half  of  my  barns,  to  be  divided  in  the  following  manner:  the  old 
barn  shall  be  divided  east  and  west  through  the  ridge,  and  the  new 
barn  north  and  south  through  the  ridge,  she  having  the  use  of  the 
south  part  of  the  old  barn,  and  the  east  part  of  the  new  barn. 

Also,  I  give  to  Lucy  Hart,  the  widow  of  Cyprian  Hart,  lately  de- 
ceased, so  long  as  she  continues  to  be  his  widow,  the  use  of  the  other 
half  of  my  dwelling-house,  and  the  privilege  of  keeping  two  cows  on 
my  farm  summer  and  winter,  and  so  much  room  in  my  barns  as  will 
be  necessary  to  accommodate  them ;  also,  the  privilege  of  taking  from 
my  farm  the  necessary  firewood  during  that  time,  viz.,  while  she  re- 
mains said  Hart's  widow. 

Also,  I  give  to  Selah  Hart,  my  sword,  and  the  said  Selah  Hart  and 
Cyprian  Hart,  sons  of  Cyprian  Hart,  lately  deceased,  all  my  real  estate 
and  what  of  my  movable  estate  that  is  not  disposed  of  as  above,  they 
paying  to  each  of  their  four  sisters,  as  they  arrive  to  lawful  age,  two 
hundred  dollars  from  my  movable  estate,  if  they  be  able,  if  not,  it  is

my  will  that  they  sell  those  lands  for  that  purpose  which  can  best  be 
spared.  If  either  Selah  or  Cyprian  Hart,  as  above  mentioned,  should 
die  without  natural  heirs,  of  his  own  body  begotten,  this  property  here 
given  him  shall  descend  to  his  surviving  brother;  if  both  of  them  die 
without  an  heir  of  their  own  body,  then  this  property  here  given  them 
shall  descend  to  their  surviving  sisters  above  mentioned. 

If  hereafter  it  shall  be  thought  expedient  that  either  Selah  or 
Cyprian  Hart,  above  mentioned,  should  have  a  public  education,  it  is 
my  Will  that  provision  for  that  purpose  shall  be  made  from  my  prop- 
erty, and  that  in  such  case  the  property  thus  appropriated  shall  be 
counted  so  much  towards  his  portion. 

Also,  I  give  my  brother,  Noadiah  Hart,  one  hundred  dollars,  to  be 
paid  within  one  year  after  my  decease. 

I  likewise  constitute  my  wife.  Ruth  Hart,  and  Elijah.  Hooker,  Esq., 
sole  executors  of  this  my  last  "Will  and  Testament,  in  witness  whereof

cemetery  a  little  distance  north-west  of  his  dwelling-house.    A  monu- 
ment was  erected  to  his  memory  bearing  the  following  inscription: 
General  Selah  Hart, 
An  Officer  of  the  Revolution, 

who  died 
June  10th,  1806,  M.  74  years. 
'•Blessed  are  the  dead  who  die  in  the  Lord." 
His  widow,  Mrs.  Ruth  Hart,  died  Jan.  15th,  1844,  aged  101  years 

2  months  and  16  days,  being  the  oldest  person  that  ever  died  in  that 
town.    Her  gravestone  bears  this  inscription: 

Mrs.  Ruth  Hart, 
Wife  of  General  Selah  Hart. 
Born  Oct.  29th,  1742, 
Died  Jan.  15th,  1844, 
M.  101  years  2  months  and  16  days. 
Extraordinary  in  age,  she  was  not  less 
distinguished  by  strength  of  character,  correctness 
of  moral  principle,  and  holiness  of  life. 
She  adorned  the  profession  of  the  Gospel 
during  nearly  three-quarters  of  a  century. 
A  friend  of  God  and  her  species,  her  memory 
will  triumph  over  the  wrecks  of  time.

HART  FAMILY. 


Early  in  life  he  was  considered  by  the  public  as  a  man  of  integrity, 
sagacity,  and  thoroughness.  In  the  office  of  constable  he  was  much 
employed;  and  in  cases  where  discretion,  great  bodily  strength,  and 
fearlessness  of  personal  danger  were  requisite,  he  was  the  man  for  the 
occasion.  When  the  war  for  Independence  came,  his  person  and  his 
property  were  at  the  service  of  his  country,  and  he  was  in  service  or 
in  captivity  during  the  greatest  part  of  the  time  of  the  war.  In  1776, 
he  commanded  a  regiment,  and  when  Washington  evacuated  New 
York,  he  was  cut  off  and  captured  by  a  body  of  the  enemy's  forces 
which  had  ascended  the  Hudson  River  and  landed  above  him.  Ignor- 
ant and  ill-natured  people  made  many  remarks  on  the  occasion,  but  it 
was  never  shown  but  that  he  understood  his  duty,  and  well  performed 
it.  He  was  stationed  in  order  to  cover  the  retreat  of  the  main  body, 
and  if  he  had  been  less  faithful  and  less  brave,  he  might  have  aban- 
doned his  post  and  perhaps  have  escaped  captivity  as  many  others  did. 
The  cruelties  and  miseries  which  prisoners  suffered  in  New  York  in 
those  days,  have  been  often  told  and  recorded,  and  this  Col.  Hart  suf- 
fered nearly  two  years,  during  the  most  of  which  time  his  wife  knew 
not  whether  he  was  living  or  dead,  and  when  he  did  return,  it  was  to 
her  as  if  he  had  risen  from  the  grave.  Subsequently  he  commanded 
a  brigade  until  the  close  of  the  war.  He  then  resumed  his  avocation 
of  farming,  and  the  condition  of  his  lands,  fences,  buildings,  utensils, 
crops,  and  animals,  showed  that  the  owner  and  master  was  sagacious 
and  thorough. 

Probably  no  farm  near  his  produced  so  much  at  so  great  a  profit,  in 
proportion  to  the  acres  used,  as  did  his.  He  thought  more  of  good 
crops  and  the  profitable  use  of  labor,  than  of  a  large  number  of  acres 
under  partial  culture.  As  he  was  a  man  of  but  few  words,  some  sup- 
posed him  to  be  lacking  in  social  feeling,  but  they  were  in  a  mistake. 
He  loved  society,  and  but  few  would  more  readily  discern  and  feel 
what  should  move  human  sympathy,  or  more  certainly  show  it  in 
action.  He  was  hospitable  to  friends  and  wayfarers,  and  he  consid- 
ered the  unfortunate  and  the  poor,  both  to  relieve  their  present  neces- 
sities and  devise  for  their  future  welfare.  He  took  a  very  young 
colored  child  to  bring  up,  named  Jack,  who  was  legally  a  slave,  but 
Jack's  living,  clothing,  and  education  were  better  than  the  average  of  the 
white  lads  in  the  vicinity  enjoyed,  and  when  the  lad  became  twenty- 
one  years  of  age,  the  master  said  to  him:  "The  law  would  give  me 
four  years  more  of  your  service,  but  I  think  you  have  a  right  to  be 
free,  and  you  are  at  liberty  to  go  away,  or  stay  with  me  and  receive 
wages."  Gen.  Hart  was  singularly  thoughtful  and  active  for  the 
public  weal.  The  interests  of  the  town  he  made  his  own  in  some 
sort,  as  when  he  was  its  Treasurer,  in  cases  of  deficiency,  his  own

funds  would  be  forthcoming  in  order  that  the  business  and  the  credit 
of  the  town  might  not  suffer.  As  a  member  of  the  ecclesiastical  society, 
it  was  said  of  him  after  his  death,  and  by  those  who  reviled  him  while 
living,  "We  have  lost  the  main  stud  of  the  building."  He  had  an 
uncompromising  regard  for  wholesome  laws  and  sound  morals,  and  as 
a  magistrate,  he  was  a  "terror  to  evil  doers:"  as  might  be  expected, 
almost  all  manner  of  evil  was  spoken  against  him,  yet  but  few  gave 
stronger  evidence  of  desiring  to  see  all  others  prosperous  and  happy 
in  a  course  of  well  doing.  And  there  was  no  want  of  proof  that 
there  was  entire  confidence  in  his  wisdom  and  uprightness,  and  that 
the  interests,  the  persons,  and  the  property  of  the  friendless  and  the 
orphan  were  considered  safe  with  him.  As  a  religious  man,  his  creed 
was  conformed,  as  he  believed,  to  the  holiness  and  the  simplicity  of 
the  Word  of  God.  Men  have  invented  many  things  as  tests  of  reli- 
gious character  and  practice,  but  with  Selah  Hart  it  was  sufficient  that 
all  others  and  himself  should  fear  God  and  keep  his  commandments.  At 
the  beginning  and  at  the  close  of  each  day,  he  with  all  his  household 
appeared  before  his  and  their  God,  to  worship  Him  in  prayer,  and  to 
learn  His  will  from  His  Word.  And  he  considered  it  as  a  part  of  his 
religious  duty  so  to  order  every  other  concern  as  that  nothing  should 
interfere  with  the  stated  duties  which  he  considered  were  owing  from 
himself  and  each  member  of  his  household  to  their  God ;  and  so  there 
was  no  confusion  or  loss  of  time:  and  in  this  he  was  greatly  assisted 
by  his  wife,  a  woman  of  uncommon  intelligence,  stability,  and  piety. 
He  was  many  years  a  member  of  the  church  in  Kensington,  and  one 
of  its  deacons  until  his  decease.  He  died  June  10th,  1806,  JE.  74 
years,  leaving  an  example  which,  in  most  things,  it  is  believed  it 
would  be  useful,  safe,  and  honorable  to  follow.

Emma  Hart,  better  known  as  Mrs.  "Willard.  of  Troy,  the  sixteenth 
child  of  her  father,  Capt.  Samuel  Hart,  of  Kensington,  and  the  ninth 
by  his  second  wife,  Lydia  (Hinsdale),  was  born  Feb.  23d,  1787,  at 
Berlin,  Conn.  A  brilliant  mind  and  high  aspirations  were  developed 
in  the  child.  She  taught  a  common  school  at  seventeen;  an  academy 
in  Berlin  at  nineteen;  at  twenty  was  preceptress  at  West-field  Acade- 
my, Mass: ;  was  released  by  the  trustees  to  accept  a  position  at  the 
head  of  the  Female  Academy,  Middlebury,  Vt.  In  1809,  at  the  age 
of  twenty-two,  she  married  Dr.  John  Willard,  and  opened  a  boarding 
school. 

After  five  years,  she  formed  the  plan  and  design  of  extensively  im- 
proving female  education,  chiefly  by  inducing  some  state  government 
to  establish  a  female  seminary  for  liberal  yet  feminine  education,  and 
committed  her  plan  to  writing.  She  introduced  studies  into  her 
school  before  untaught  to  females.  She  had  five  young  ladies  in  her 
school  of  seventy  from  "Waterford,  N.  Y..  to  which  place  she  was  in- 
vited, their  leading  men  to  present,  1818,  her  plan  to  the  legislature  of 
New  York.  They  were  to  do  it,  if  Gov.  Clinton  approved:  he  did  so, 
and  brought  forward  the  subject  in  his  message.

HART  FAMILY. 


Mr.  and  Mrs.  Willard  spent  the  winter  in  Albany,  and  presented  her 
plan  as  a  memorial  to  the  legislature.  It  was  approved,  and  the  first 
law  ever  made  by  any  legislature  to  improve  the  female  sex  by  educa- 
tion, was  passed,  by  which  all  the  legally  incorporated  female  acade- 
mies in  the  state  have  since  and  do  now  receive  a  share  of  the  literature 
fund.  The  legislature  also  incorporated  a  female  seminary  at  Water- 
ford.  In  the  spring  of  1819,  after  two  years,  she  removed  to  Troy,  as 
no  building  was  provided  for  the  school  at  Waterf ord.  The  corpora- 
tion of  Troy  voted  $4,000,  and  made  a  fortunate  purchase  of  the  ground 
where  the  eastern  part  of  the  seminary  now  stands.  Further  sums 
were  raised,  and  the  school  thus  founded  went  on  from  year  to  year, 
increasing  in  numbers  and  facilities,  until  some  four  hundred  pupils 
had  access  to  nearly  the  science  and  literature  of  the  colleges.  Many 
of  her  methods  of  teaching,  and  her  illustrations,  were  peculiar  to 
herself,  and  would  be  described  in  detail  had  we  space.  These,  how- 
ever, can  be  found  in  her  published  works. 

Dr.  Willard  died  in  1825,  leaving  the  entire  responsibility  of  the 
school  in  Mrs.  Willard's  hands.  Its  popularity  increased  so  that  pupils 
came  from  all  parts  of  the  Union  and  Canada,  and  even  from  the 
"West  Indies.  She  thus  deservedly  attained  the  highly  distinguished 
honor  of  being  the  first  and  most  successful  female  educator  in 
America.  In  1838,  she  resigned  her  charge  to  her  son  and  his  wife, 
that  she  might  the  better  publish  her  unfinished  literary  works,  and 
enjoy  her  travels  in  Europe.  Very  interesting  biographical  sketches 
of  her  may  be  found  in  Everest's  "  Poets  of  Connecticut,"  and 
"  Appleton's  Encyclopedia." 

Among  the  productions  of  her  pen,  the  best  known  is  the  beautiful 
hymn,  "  Rocked  in  the  Cradle  of  the  Deep,"  and  in  educational  litera- 
ture, her  "  Historical  Series."  Tier  published  works  are  numerous, 
and  some  of  them  of  high  note  and  merit. 

Thus,  in  brief,  the  history  of  the  brilliant  girl,  Emma  Hart,  culmi- 
nated in  the  distinguished  Mrs.  Willard,  of  Troy  Female  Seminary. 
This  was  her  mission  and  specialty — this  was  her  forte:  here  she 
spent  her  best  days,  and  here  she  died  at  a  good  old  age,  Friday, 
April  15th,  1870,  aged  83  years,  1  month,  22  days.* 

Their  child,  John  Hart  Willard,  principal  of  Troy  Seminary,  had 
children,  Emma  W.,  John  H.,  Sarah  H.,  Mary  T.,  and  Harriet  P. 
The  beautiful  profile  engraving  of  his  honorable  mother  which  em- 
bellishes the  opposite  page,  is  kindly  furnished  by  him.  He  has  my 
thanks. 

*  She  was  a  great  student  in  chemistry  and  natural  philosophy,  and  it  was  these 
sciences  which  led  her  to  the  great  discovery  "The  motive  power  in  the  circulation  of 
the  blood."  She,  in  1837,  published  a  work  on  the  subject,  and  in  1847,  another  on 
"  Respiration,  and  its  effects."

Almira  Hart,  better  known  as  Mrs.  Lincoln  and  Mrs.  Phelps,  was 
the  seventeenth  child  of  Capt.  Samuel  Hart,  of  Kensington,  and  the 
tenth  by  his  second  wife,  Lydia  Hinsdale,  was  born  July  13th,  1793, 
at  Berlin,  Conn.  In  the  following  sketch,  I  transcribe  from  a  letter 
of  her  sister,  Mrs.  Willard,  to  some  extent.    She  says: 

Almira  was  a  pupil  of  mine  for  the  three  years  I  taught  in  Berlin, 
after  which,  at  an  early  age,  she  taught  a  common  school.  She 
was  subsequently  with  Mrs.  Willard  at  Middlebury,  Vt.,  and,  about 
eighteen,  at  the  Female  Academy  in  Pittsfield,  Mass.,  under  the 
excellent  instruction  of  a  maternal  cousin,  Miss  Nancy  Hinsdale. 
Keturning  to  Middlebury,  after  having  taught  for  a  time  a  select 
school  in  Middletown,  Conn.,  she  remained  a  while  with  Mrs.  Willard, 
and  then  took  charge  of  a  female  academy  at  Sandy  Hill,  N.  Y. 
Here  she  developed  the  extraordinary  talents  which  have  marked  her 
subsequent  career.  After  two  years,  she  married,  Oct.  5th,  1817, 
Simeon  Lincoln,  Jr.,  of  New  Britain,  Conn.,  a  printer  by  trade  and 
occupation,  and  an  editor  of  a  literary  paper  at  Hartford,  Conn. 
They  had  Jane,  who  was  educated  at  Troy.  Emma  Willard,  married 
a  lawyer  of  Reading,  Penn.  Mr.  Lincoln  died  Oct.  4th,  1823,  and 
she  engaged  at  once  in  teaching  a  winter  school  near  her  home, 
although  having  two  small  children  on  her  hands.  In  the  spring,  she 
entered  Mrs.  Willard's  Seminary  as  a  teacher,  having  taken  up  the 
Latin  language  evenings  (or  nights)  of  the  past  winter — her  progress 
was  remarkable.  Mrs.  Willard  gave  her  the  department  of  natural 
science.  About  four  years  after  this,  she  wrote  her  work  on  Botany, 
being  then  vice-principal  of  Troy  Seminary.  This  was  a  decided  suc- 
cess, and  still  holds  its  place  as  the  first  on  the  subject:  it  has  afforded 
her  an  emolument,  and  made  the  publisher  rich.  While  Mrs.  Willard 
was  in  Europe,  Mrs.  Lincoln  managed  the  Troy  Seminary  as  principal 
with  great  ability,  and  procured  of  the  corporation  of  Troy  an  import- 
ant addition  to  the  grounds.  In  1831,  Mrs.  Lincoln  became  the  wife 
of  Hon.  John  Phelps,  of  Vermont,  a  distinguished  jurist  and  eminent 
statesman.  She  then  went  to  reside  at  Guilford,  and  subsequently  at

bation  of  lier  husband,  accepted  an  invitation  to  become  the  head  of  a 
female  seminary  at  West  Chester,  Pa.,  which  seemed  then  to  promise 
great  usefulness;  but  opposition  to  religious  instruction  led  her  to 
take  a  more  private  establishment  at  Rahway,  N.  J. ;  from  which,  in 
1841,  she  was  invited  by  the  Bishop  of  Maryland,  and  trustees  of  the 
Patapsco  Institute,  to  found  a  diocesan  church  school  for  girls.  Here 
she  labored  fifteen  years,  and  sustained  Episcopal  service  and  worship, 
and  educated  as  many  as  one  thousand  pupils,  among  whom  were 
about  one  hundred  and  fifty  beneficiaries,  educated  for  teachers.  This 
was  the  great  and  crowning  educational  work  of  Mrs.  Phelps.  She 
retired  from  that  field  in  1856.  The  death  of  Mr.  Phelps  had  occur- 
red in  1849.  She  takes  an  interest  in  the  great  questions  of  the  day, 
especially  in  education  and  the  social  condition  of  women,  deeply  de- 
ploring the  agitations  caused  by  restless  innovators  on  the  established 
order  of  society.  She  resides  in  Baltimore;  has  been  a  communicant 
of  the  Episcopal  church  since  1816,  and  is  now  over  eighty  years  of 
age,  in  good  health  and  spirits  (July,  1874).*

appointed  tutor  in  college  in  1832,  and  adjunct  professor  of  ancient 
languages  in  1836.  He  was  licensed  as  a  probationer  for  the  gospel 
ministry  in  1836,  but  subsequently  returned  bis  license  to  the  presby- 
tery, by  whom  it  was  cancelled,  he  having  determined  to  devote  his 
life  to  the  profession  of  teaching.  In  the  fall  of  1836  he  became  the 
proprietor  of  the  Edge  Hill  Boarding  School,  near  Princeton,  which 
institution  he  conducted  until  December,  1841.  In  September,  1842, 
he  was  appointed  principal  of  the  Central  High  School  of  Philadelphia. 
He  was  brought  into  the  church  at  the  early  age  of  fourteen,  mainly 
through  the  influence  of  his  mother  and  Sabbath  School  teacher.  He 
married  April  21st,  1836,  Amelia  C.  Norford,  of  Princeton.  He  was 
for  a  time  principal  of  the  State  Normal  School  of  New  Jersey,  but 
resigned  February  7th,  1871.  Thus  Professor  Hart,  from  the  peculiar 
structure  of  his  mind  and  taste,  became  one  of  the  greatest  educators 
of  the  age.  From  his  constant  contact  with  children  and  youth  he 
could  adapt  his  labors  and  writings  to  their  wants  and  necessities.

which  was  torn  away  a  few  years  since,  part  of  the  chimney  and  cellar 
still  remaining.  About  ten  feet  north  of  the  last-mentioned  house  was 
the  well,  now  covered  with  boards,  which  served  for  both  houses.

Across  the  middle  of  the  well,  running  west  from  the  highway,  was 
the  dividing  line  between  the  proprietors.  He  sold  his  place,  consist- 
ing of  land,  dwelling-house,  barn,  and  fruit  trees,  to  Philip  M.  Farns- 
worth,  for  £100,  by  deed,  dated  February  14th,  1774.  In  the  deed  it 
is  described  as  being  in  the  south  division,  east  tier  of  lots,  eleventh 
lot  in  number,  laid  out  on  the  right  of  Captain  John  Stanley,  and  lying 
west  of  a  three-rod  highway,  beginning  in  the  highway  and  running 
west  across  the  middle  of  the  well  about  twenty-four  rods,  thence 
north  to  land  of  John  Curtiss,  bounded  east  on  highway,  south  on 
Ichabod  Andrews,  west  on  Jonathan  Bronson,  and  north  on  John  Cur- 
tiss. Soon  after  disposing  of  his  farm  Mr.  Hart  removed  to  Burling- 
ton, where  his  eighth  child  .died,  August  10th,  1774,  and  was  buried 
at  the  North  Cemetery,  Bristol,  where  his  five  youngest  children  have 
tomb-stones.  He  was  active  in  forming  the  church  at  Burlington,  and 
was  one  of  its  first  deacons,  which  office  he  held  until  excused  on  ac- 
count of  feeble  health.  He  was  justice  of  the  peace  for  several  years. 
When  Bristol,  including  Burlington,  was  made  a  town  in  1785,  he  was 
their  first  representative  to  the  state  legislature.  He  lived  an  emi- 
nently useful  life,  and  died  instantly,  January  12th,  1800,  his  wife 
having  died  the  day  previous.  They  were  both  buried  in  the  same 
grave,  and  the  inscription  on  their  tomb-stone  in  the  cemetery  west  of 
the  meeting-house  in  Burlington,  reads  thus: 

"  Here  lieth  the  bodies  of  Deacon  Simeon  Hart, 
and  Sarah,  his  wife ; 
She  died  January  11th,  1800, 

Aged  62,  and  he  died 
January  12th,  1800,  Aged  64. 
They  were  eminent  for  Piety, 
Charity,  and  Christian  Morality. 

"Inexorable  death,  thou  sweep'st  away 

The  kind,  compassionate,  and  just, 
All  flesh  by  thee  is  turned  to  clay, 

And  moulders  into  common  dust. 
Here  ends  thy  reign,  the  soul  shall  rise, 

(If  Grace  the  heart  hath  well  refined,) 
Shall  join  the  chorus  of  the  skies, 

In  Hallelujahs  to  the  Eternal  Mind."

Rev.  Levi  Hart.  Preston.  Conn.,  seventh  son  of  Deacon  Thomas 
Hart,  of  Southington,  and  his  wife,  Anna  (Stanley),  born  March  30th, 
1738,  at  Southington,  Conn.:  baptized  August  2d.  1738,  by  Rev.  J. 
Curtiss,  pastor.  He  graduated  at  Tale  College  in  1760,  and  studied 
theology  with  Dr.  Bellamy,  of  Bethlehem,  Conn.  He  settled  in  the 
ministry  November  -4th,  1762,  in  that  part  of  Preston,  Conn.,  now 
called  Griswold.  He  married,  1762,  Rebecca,  daughter  of  Rev.  Dr. 
Bellamy,  and  his  wife,  Frances  (Sherman),  born  September  11th.  1747. 
at  Cheshire,  Conn.  She  died  December  24th,  1788,  aged  41  years, 
when  he  second  married  December  4th,  1790,  the  widow  of  Xathaniel 
Baccus,  of  Xorwich.    He  died  October  27th,  1808,  aged  70  years. 

In  the  year  1800  the  college  of  Xew  Jersey  honored  him  with  the 
degree  of  D.  D.  He  was  a  member  of  the  corporation  of  Dartmouth 
College  from  1784  to  1788.  and  of  Yale  College  from  1794  to  the  year 
preceding  his  death.  Of  the  intimate  friends  of  Rev.  Mr.  Hart  next 
to  Dr.  Bellamy  perhaps,  was  Dr.  Hopkins,  of  Newport.  R.  I.,  whose 
funeral  sermon  he  preached,  December  23d,  1803. 

The  Connecticut  Missionary  Society  owes  much  to  the  sympathy  and 
labors  of  Mr.  Hart  in  its  origin  and  progress.  Indeed  he  was  a  mis- 
sionary himself  as  early  as  1769,  and  with  the  consent  of  his  people 
he  made  a  journey  into  the  district  of  Maine,  to  preach  to  the  destitute, 
and  again  in  1795  he  performed  a  tour  of  missionary  labor  at  the  north, 
towards  Canada.  During  the  great  struggle  of  the  country  for  inde- 
pendence his  sympathy  was  with  our  army,  and  his  patriotism  led  him 
to  visit  the  camp  at  Roxbury,  and  preach  twice  on  the  Sabbath  to  Colo- 
nel-Parsons' regiment.  In  1783  he  delivered  a  discourse  to  an  assem- 
bly convened  at  Fort  Griswold,  Groton,  in  commemoration  of  those 
gallant  men  who  fell  there  in  defence  of  their  country,  Colonel  Led- 
yard  at  their  head.  But  the  chief  excellence  of  Mr.  Hart  appeared  as 
a  gospel  minister,  and  pastor  to  his  flock  at  Griswold,  and  the  savor  of 
his  good  name  has  extended  down  to  this  date,  being  spoken  of  as  one 
of  the  greatest  and  best  men  of  the  past  generation.  His  funeral  was 
attended  by  all  the  neighboring  clergymen,  and  an  excellent  sermon 
was  preached  by  Rev.  Joel  Benedict,  of  Plainfield.  from  the  words — 
"Your  fathers,  where  are  they?  and  the  prophets,  do  they  live  for 
ever?" — Zechariah  1:  5.    A  very  large  and  attentive  concourse  of

people  hung  upon  the  lips  of  the  preacher  while  he  described  some  of 
the  prominent  features  of  the  character  of  the  deceased,  and  evidenced 
that  their  hearts  affectionately  responded  to  the  justice  of  his  delinea- 
tion. His  remains  were  deposited  by  the  side  of  a  deceased  wife,  at 
whose  grave  he  had  erected  a  plain  stone,  with  this  inscription: 
"And  Jacob  set  up  a  pillar  at  Rachel's  Grave."

August  23d,  1772,  at  Preston;  married  November  27th,  1794,  Calvin 
Goddard,  of  Norwich,  Conn.  She  died  May  3d,  1832,  aged  60  years, 
in  the  lively  faith  of  a  Christian.  Her  distinguished  husband  thus 
speaks  of  her:  "My  connection  with  this  family,"  (Rev.  Dr.  Hart's,) 
adds  Judge  Goddard,  "  has  furnished  me  with  a  great  proportion  of  my 
happiness  during  a  long  life;  and  as  well  from  a  knowledge  of  her 
Christian  life,  as  from  the  circumstances  of  her  triumphant  death,  I 
can  not  doubt  she  was  removed  to  a  mansion  1  not  made  with  hands, 
eternal  in  the  heavens.'  Our  severe  loss  has  been  her  gain.  My  chil- 
dren, under  God,  owe  much  of  what  they  are  to  their  dear  mother, 
and  I  trust  the  influence  of  her  character  is  not  yet  lost  upon  my 
grandchildren."

College  in  1786,  in  the  class  with  his  brother-in-law,  William  Sherman 
Hart.  He  was  one  of  the  most  distinguished  civilians  in  Connecticut, 
being  judge  of  the  Superior  Court,  assistant,  &c.  His  attention  was

thorough  investigation,  brought  all  his  influence  to  bear  against  the 
system,  until  it  was  abolished  in  this  state.  He  then  turned  his  atten- 
tion to  the  moral  bearings  of  other  great  questions  of  the  day,  and 
lent  his  influence,  with  that  of  such  men  as  Judges  Sherman,  Daggett, 
Day,  and  Williams,  in  favor  of  moral  reformation.  He  thus  prepared 
the  way  for  an  investigation  of  the  bearings  of  the  great  moral  truths 
of  the  Bible  on  personal  character,  which  resulted  in  the  union  with 
the  church  of  so  many  of  the  distinguished  civilians  of  the  state  of 
Connecticut,  twenty-five  or  thirty  years  since.  Judge  Goddard  had 
six  children,  uaU,v  he  said  in  1840,  "the  blessed  comforts  of  my  old 
age,"  viz:

successful  business  man,  owning  a  foundry  and  machine-shop,  said  to

Carolina.  The  firm  is  known  as  Hart  &  Bailey.  He  also  has  a  vine- 
yard, from  which  a  superior  kind  of  wine  is  made,  called  the  Scupper- 
nong  Champagne.  It  contains  fifty  acres,  and  has  1,000  vines.  He  is 
thoroughly  practical,  and  prefers  zeal  and  worth  to  mere  outside  dis- 
play. He  is  a  good  father  and  a  respected  citizen,  and  has  held  posi- 
tions of  honor  and  trust:  one  of  those  of  whom  we  say — "his  word 
is  as  good  as  his  bond."  The  family  is  Presbyterian.  Mr.  Hart  was 
opposed  to  secession,  and  was  a  Unionist  in  the  late  war,  but  was  not 
an  extremist.  He  lost  heavily  by  the  war,  but  has  since  felt  it  his  duty 
to  practice  moderation  and  forbearance.  He  has  furnished  an  engrav-

HART  FAMILY. 


Early  in  life  Mr.  Hart  was  interested  in  the  instruction  of  children 
and  youth,  and  taught  school  while  fitting  himself  for  college.  "When 
he  graduated  he  had  in  view  the  gospel  ministry,  but  Providence 
seemed  to  direct  him  to  become  an  educator.  After  some  years  of 
hard  and  successful  labor  in  the  public  academy  of  Farmington,  having 
many  applications  from  abroad  to  take  pupils,  he  gave  up  his  public 
school,  and  enlarged  his  operations  by  establishing  a  private  boarding 
school  for  boys,  and  associating  himself  with  his  nephew  and  former 
pupil,  Mr.  Edward  Lucas  Hart,  in  the  enterprise.  This  boarding  school 
soon  became  popular  and  successful.  Mr.  Hart  became  a  member  of 
the  Congregational  Church  at  Farmington  in  1825,  his  first  wife  in 
1818,  and  his  second  wife  in  1841.  He  was  chosen  deacon  there  in 
1827,  was  a  representative  of  Farmington  to  the  General  Assembly 
several  times,  was  a  magistrate,  and  a  superintendent  of  the  Sunday 
School,  and  thus  made  himself  actively  useful  in  every  good  work. 
He  was  town  clerk  after  the  decease  of  Horace  Cowles,  Esq.  He 
originated  the  savings  bank  of  the  town,  and  was  its  first  secretary. 
He  originated  this  Memorial,  and  diligently  labored  on  it  to  the  end  of 
his  life,  which  occurred  April  30th,  1853,  aged  57  years.

1867,  aged  71  years.  The  following  appeared  in  the  Louisville  Journal 
of  September  26th,  1867: 

"On  Thursday,  the  19th  instant,  the  Rev.  Edson  Hart  died  at  his 
residence  at  Baird's  Station,  Oldham  County,  Ky.  Mr.  Hart  was  born 
at  Farmington,  Conn.,  on  the  12th  day  of  April,  1796.  He  was  edu- 
cated at  Yale  College,  made  a  profession  of  his  faith  in  Christ  while 
quite  young,  entered  the  ministry  in  the  Presbyterian  Church,  and  con- 
tinued in  the  constant  and  active  labors  of  that  sacred  calling  until 
partially  laid  aside  by  bronchitis.  The  scene  of  his  earliest  labors  in 
the  ministry  was  among  the  Indians,  in  the  state  of  Michigan.  From 
thence  he  removed  to  "Western  Ohio,  and  after  several  years  labor 
there,  removed  to  Erie  County,  Penn., -where  he  preached  to  the  two 
churches  of  Springfield  and  Gerard  for  a  number  of  years.  His  next 
field  of  labor  was  at  Morganfield,  Union  County,  Ky.  Here  chiefly 
through  his  agency,  as  we  understand,  a  high  school  was  established, 
in  which  he  felt  a  deep  interest,  using  his  personal  influence  and  efforts 
in  the  north  to  raise  funds  for  its  support.  He  settled  at  Morganfield 
about  the  year  1838,  or  1839,  and  remained  there  six  or  eight  years. 
He  afterwards  spent  some  years  at  New  Albany,  Ind.  His  health  fail- 
ing he  went  to  New  Orleans,  and  became  an  agent  of  the  American 
Bible  Society,  where  he  labored  until  the  war  interrupted,  and  in  1862 
he  came  north,  and  early  in  1865  settled  at  Baird's  Station,  a  quiet 
place,  where  he  hoped  to  spend  his  days  in  peace.  His  earnest  prayers 
and  exhortations  in  our  little  prayer  meetings  are  remembered  with  a 
tender  interest.  He  was  a  man  of  earnest  piety  and  strong  faith.  His 
last  illness  was  lingering,  but  there  were  no  bands  in  his  death.  Peace, 
hope,  and  trust,  made  his  death-bed  as  calm  and  glorious  as  the  setting 
sun." 

His  half  brother,  Seth  Hart,  Esq.,  of  New  York  City,  writing  of 
him  to  the  compiler,  says  of  him:  "If  ever  there  was  a  man  who  sin- 
cerely believed  in  the  doctrines  he  professed,  and  who  truly  loved  his 
Saviour  and  his  teachings,  it  was  the  late  Rev.  Edson  Hart.  It  may 
be  said  of  him  as  of  Noah — 'He  walked  with  God.'  "

His  captain,  Samuel  S.  Woodruff,  thus  speaks  of  him  in  a  letter  pub- 
lished in  the  Southington  Mirror  of  July  1st,  1864: 

"  It  was  at  this  juncture  (writing  of  the  battle)  that  my  noble  young 
friend  and  clerk,  David  W.  Hart,  fell  by  my  side,  mortally  wounded. 
I  asked  him  where  he  was  hit.  He  replied  that  he  did  not  know.  He 
had  no  sense  of  pain,  but  was  numb  all  over.  I  soon  found  he  was 
pierced  by  a  minie-ball,  and  told  him  he  must  be  carried  oft".  He  re- 
luctantly consented,  and  four  of  his  comrades  put  him  on  a  blanket. 
The  balls  were  flying  thick  and  fast  among  us.  He  cast  his  last  look 
at  the  colors,  and  his  last  words  to  us  were — 1  Boys,  I  hate  to  leave  you; 
fight  on  for  the  flag.'  His  bearers  soon  found  a  stretcher,  and  next  an 
ambulance,  and  then  they  returned  to  their  company.  He  was  a  noble 
and  promising  young  man,  a  good  soldier,  and  a  devoted  Christian,  a 
severe  loss  to  me,  and  to  the  company,  and  to  the  regiment,  and  to  our

country:  but  this  is  not  to  be  compared  to  the  crushing  blow  which 
falls  upon  his  dear  and  bereaved  family.  He  lived  just  one  week  after 
he  was  wounded,  suffered  but  little,  and  talked  cheerfully  and  hope- 
fully. The  ball  passed  through  the  spine,  thus  paralyzing  all  the  lower 
parts  of  the  body." 

He  died  of  his  wound  fn  the  hospital  near  Resaca,  G-a..  May  22d, 
1864,  and  a  sermon  on  the  occasion  of  his  death  was  preached  in  the

Major  Jonathan  Hart,  Kensington,  Conn.,  second  son  of  Deacon 
Ebenezer  Hart,  of  the  same  place,  and  his  wife,  Elizabeth  (Lawrence), 
born  at  Kensington,  Conn.,  in  1744,  and  graduated  at  Yale  College  in 
1768.  He  went  to  New  Jersey,  and  taught  school  for  several  years. 
He  returned  to  Kensington,  and  entered  into  trade  with  the  minister 
of  the  place,  with  whom  he  had  a  serious  quarrel,  and  was  thrown  into 
jail,  where  he  remained  until  the  revolution.  He  joined  the  army, 
was  in  the  public  service  from  1775  to  1791,  and  was  slain  by  the  In- 
dians at  St.  Clair's  defeat,  in  the  autumn  of  1791,  at  which  time  he 
held  the  military  rank  of  major.  He  married  in  1777,  Abigail  Riley, 
who,  after  her  husband's  decease,  married  second,  Rev.  Cyprian  Strong, 
of  Chatham,  Conn.,  August  3d,  1797.  Major  Hart  left  one  child  only, 
who  married,  and  died  childless. 

At  probate  court,  Farmington,  Conn.,  July  5th,  1792,  administration 
was  granted  to  Abigail  Hart  on  the  estate  of  Jonathan  Hart,  late  of 
Berlin,  deceased,  and  June  4th,  1794,  she  was  appointed  guardian  to 
Everlin  Hart,  a  minor  of  said  town  of  Berlin,  and  in  said  probate  dis- 
trict of  Farmington.    The  following  biographical  sketch  is  copied  from 


BRANCH     OF  THOMAS. 


395 


the  Connecticut  Gazette,  published  by  John  M.  Niles  and  J.  T.  Pease,  in 
1819,  at  Hartford,  Conn.: 

"Major  Jonathan  Hart  was  a  native  of  this  town,  (Berlin.)  He  was 
a  gallant  and  distinguished  officer,  and  one  of  the  victims  of  the  un- 
fortunate defeat  of  General  St.  Clair,  November  4th,  1791.  His  life 
and  those  of  his  command  were  literally  offered  a  sacrifice  for  the 
safety  of  the  rest  of  the  army.  "When  all  were  in  confusion  and  dis- 
may Major  Hart  was  ordered  to  charge  the  enemy  with  the  bayonet, 
with  a  view  to  facilitate  a  retreat,  or  rather  a  flight,  to  the  shattered 
remains  of  the  army.  This  charge  was  made  with  gallantry  and  spirit, 
under  circumstances  which  language  is  too  feeble  to  describe — the  des- 
olation of  the  place,  the  confusion  of  the  scene,  and  the  whoop  and 
yells  of  a  savage  foe  flushed  with  victory  and  thirsting  for  blood,  the 
general  consternation  which  prevailed,  and  the  groans  of  the  dying  in 
every  direction.  But  the  intrepid  major  and  almost  every  man  of  his 
party  were  killed  in  the  desperate  enterprise,  and  their  bones  were  left 
to  bleach  upon  the  borders  of  the  waters  of  the  Wabash,  the  dreary 
abode  of  wild  beasts,  and  of  savage  men  more  wild  than  they." 

While  Major  Hart  was  marching  up  and  down  the  rivers  of  Ohio, 
and  perambulating  the  country  as  a  soldier,  he  had  a  good  opportunity 
to  observe  the  soil,  climate,  and  value  of  the  lands  with  reference  to 
the  claims  of  Connecticut  for  the  reserve,  and  the  commissioners  who 
had  the  location  of  those  claims  in  charge  wisely  availed  themselves  of 
his  knowledge.  He  wrote  some  thirty  letters  to  his  friend,  Major  Wil-

with  his  fellow-men.  In  1811,  having  become  too  aged  for  practice, 
he  removed  to  a  farm  in  Lowell,  Ohio,  on  the  Muskingum  River,  some 
ten  miles  from  Marietta,  where  he  died  of  spotted  fever,  August,  1812, 
aged  7  0  years.  His  widow  died  a  few  hours  after  him,  and  both  were 
buried  the  same  day. 

Note. — After  the  death  of  his  first  wife  Dr.  Hart  removed  to  the  house  of  his  sec- 
ond wife,  on  Harris  Hill,  a  place  now  occupied  and  owned  by  the  Harris  family,  where 
I  found  an  old  ledger  in  the  handwriting  of  Dr.  Hart,  in  which  his  autograph  is  on 
several  pages  of  the  book.  The  oldest  date  found  was  1777,  and  the  latest  was  1799. 
Here  are  charges  of  his  visits  and  services  as  physician,  to  the  people  of  Wethersfield, 
Newington,  Berlin,  Stepney,  (now  Rocky  Hill,)  and  to  other  places  more  remote,  em- 
bracing a  period  of  some  twenty  years  of  active  labor.  The  book  is  somewhat  muti- 
lated, but  is  still  a  precious  relic  of  a  good  and  worthy  ancestor.

HART  FAMILY. 


General  Hart  attained  a  high  rank  in  society,  and  an  unusual  public 
esteem  and  consideration.  The  following  is  copied  from  his  tombstone 
in  the  ancient  burial  ground  on  Saybrook  Point: 

"  Sacred  to  the  memory  of  Major-Gen eral  William  Hart,  eldest  son  of  Rev.  William 
Hart,  of  Saybrook,  who  was  born  June  24th,  1746,  and  died  August  29th,  1817,  in 
the  72d  year  of  his  age." 

In  youth  active  and  enterprising,  he  early  entered  on  mercantile  pur- 
suits, and  sustained  a  character  of  unquestionable  integrity  and  exten- 
sive respectability.  By  his  talents  he  rose  to  some  of  the  first  civil 
and  military  honors  of  this  state,  and  commanded  unusual  influence  at 
home  and  abroad.  He  loved  order,  was  an  able  counsellor,  a  professor 
of  religion,  a  benefactor  to  the  church,  a  pillar  in  society,  and  has  left 
a  memory  respected  by  his  friends,  instructive  to  his  family,  and  hon- 
orable to  the  place  in  which  he  lived. 

"One  eye  on  death,  and  one  full  fixed  on  heaven, 
Became  a  mortal  and  immortal  man."

of  Koswell  Moore,  Esq.,  in  the  east  part  of  Southington,  where  he 
was  boarded  out  by  the  selectmen  of  Berlin,  he  in  the  mean  time  sup- 
posing himself  on  wages.  Esquire  Moore  kept  a  herd  of  cows,  which 
were  milked  in  great  part  by  females  of  the  family,  and  as  Hart  was 
extremely  fond  of  women,  he  claimed  the  privilege  of  carrying  in  the 
pails  of  milk,  with  which  right  if  any  of  the  masculine  gender  inter- 
fered, he  became  angry.  It  was  his  invariable  custom  to  attend  the 
yearly  military  regimental  review,  with  his  market  basket  in  hand,  and 
lay  in  a  large  stock  of  gingerbread,  a  part  of  which  he  distributed 
among  his  favorites  of  the  female  sex  in  his  neighborhood — a  card  to 
each  one.  He  was  a  tall,  slim  man,  and  was  very  irritable.  He  died 
at  the  house  of  Widow  Polly  Merriman,  September  24th,  1840,  aged 
82  years.

in  society,  to  the  grief  of  many  of  his  friends.  During  the  summer 
following  he  supplied  the  pulpit  in  North  Stonington,  and  in  the  autumn 
of  the  same  year  he  received  a  unanimous  call  to  be  pastor  over  the 
church  and  society  in  Stonington  Borough.  He  was  installed  on  the 
6th  of  December.  For  twenty  years  he  continued  to  discharge  the 
duties  of  his  office,  almost  without  interruption,  until  within  two  weeks 
of  his  death,  which  occurred  October  29th,  1829.  As  a  preacher  he 
was  earnest  and  popular.  He  was  very  ready,  no  exigency  finding  him 
unfurnished  with  appropriate  thoughts  and  language,  many  of  his  best 
efforts  being  extempore.  He  was  successful,  referring  only  to  the  last 
scene  of  his  labors,  the  stability,  union,  and  strength  of  a  society  that 
had  previously  languished  from  the  want  of  a  regular  ministry  for 
several  years  alone  furnishing  ample  testimony.  In  1822  sixty  were 
added  to  the  church,  and  some  were  added  nearly  every  year  of  his 
ministry.  As  a  pastor  we  have  room  to  mention  only  one  prominent 
trait  in  his  character.  He  was  distinguished  for  tenderness  and  sym- 
pathy towards  the  sick  and  bereaved,  and  was  rendered  more  so  by 
the  loss  of  his  son  in  1819 — Charles  Theodore,  of  beloved  memory — 
a  youth  whom  his  classmates  in  college  will  long  remember  as  the  most 
amiable  of  their  number,  and  as  a  candidate  for  the  very  first  collegiate 
honors,  and  concerning  whom  his  marble  says  truly,  "  of  great  promise 
and  of  hopeful  piety."  Though  this  loss  deeply  wrung  the  father's 
heart  with  anguish,  yet  the  man  of  God  triumphed  over  the  feelings 
of  the  father,  and  as  he  closed  the  eyes  of  his  son,  he  said  with  true 
Christian  dignity,  "the  will  of  the  Lord  be  done."  I  will  add,  like 
Leigh  Richmond  he  mourned  over  this  child  of  his  fondest  hopes  to 
the  day  of  his  death.  It  eminently  gratified  him  to  be  a  "son  of  con- 
solation "  to  the  bereaved,  and  this  trait  greatly  endeared  him  to  his 
people.  The  remote  occasion  of  his  death  was  a  severe  contusion  in 
his  side,  received  by  a  fall  from  his  carriage  in  the  middle  of  Septem- 
ber, 1829.  He  was  confined  to  the  house  only  two  weeks.  Early  in 
his  confinement  he  said,  as  if  anticipating  the  result,  "Now  I  want 
dying  grace,  and  I  have  it."  Subsequently,  of  a  Saviour  supreme  and 
divine  he  said:  "Here  is  firm  footing;  here  is  solid  rock.  With 
Hooker  I  will  say,  <I  am  going  to  receive  mercy.'  "    To  his  wife  he

said,  "Here  is  a  precious  promise  for  you — 'I  will  never  leave  thee,  nor 
forsake  thee.1  Take  it;  it  is  yours;  you  will  need  it.  I  have  indeed 
found  abundant  need  of  it,  and  it  has  "been  literally  fulfilled  in  my  ex- 
perience.*' He  died  suddenly  at  last,  with  but  momentary  pain.  He 
fell  "asleep  in  Jesus,"  aged  58  years.  Affectionate  friends  among  his 
people  have  reared  a  tablet  to  his  memory.  He  still  lives  in  their  affec- 
tions, and  his  remembrance  is  precious  to  their  hearts.

born  September  2d,  1778,  at  New  Britain.  He  was  a  graduate  of 
Williams  College,  and  was  a  physician  in  Durham,  X.  Y.,  for  thirty 
years.  "Then,  as  a  pioneer,  he  removed  to  Marshall.  He  was  a 
scholar,  a  patron  of  education,  a  supporter  of  the  institutions  of  the 
gospel,  and  a  man  of  virtue  and  worth."  He  married  April  27th, 
1806,  Sibil  Selden,  of  Windsor,  Conn.,  and.  removed  from  New  Britain. 
Conn.,  to  Durham,  X.  Y.,  soon  after  marriage,  and  from  thence  to 
Marshall,  Mich.,  in  July,  1833.  He  and  his  wife  were  members  of  the 
Presbyterian  Church  in  Durham.  He  died  at  Marshall,  September 
10th,  1842,  aged  64  years.  When  they  removed,  to  Marshall  they 
united  with  the  Congregational  Church,  and  he  was  elected  a  deacon, 
which  office  he  held  until  his  decease.  The  church  was  a  very  feeble 
one,  and.  he  was  very  active  and  useful  in  it.  He  was  in  the  midst  of 
his  activity  when  taken  with  his  last  sickness,  and  at  first  expressed 
great  regret  that  he  must  leave  his  work ;  but  it  was  only  a  momentary 
feeling.  He  almost  immediately  expressed  his  perfect  resignation  to 
God's  will,  saying,  -''God  knows  best  whether  he  has  any  more  work 
for  me  to  do."  He  was  sick  but  a  few  days,  and  I  always  look  back 
to  them  in  his  sick  room  as  among  the  most  blessed  of  my  life.  I  re- 
member repeating  at  the  time  those  beautiful  lines — "The  chamber 
where  the  good  man  meets  his  fate  is  privileged  beyond  the  common 
walks  of  virtuous  life,  quite  in  the  verge  of  heaven."  His  beautiful 
death  was  a  fit  close  to  such  a  life.

HAET  FAMILY. 


1989.  Plymouth,  Conn. 
Rev.  Luther  Hart,  Plymouth,  Conn.,  eldest  son  of  David  Hart,  of 

Goshen,  Conn.,  and  his  wife,  Hannah  (Hudson),  of  Long  Island,  born 
July  2 7th,  1783,  at  Goshen,  Conn.  He  learned  his  father's  trade  of 
carpenter,  but  having  a  great  fondness  for  books,  he  was  fitted  for  col- 
lege by  Rev.  Alexander  Gillett,  of  Torrington,  where  his  father  then 
lived,  and  became  a  member  of  Mr.  Gillett's  church.  In  September, 
1803,  he  entered  Yale  College,  and  at  once  took  a  high  rank;  and  at 
his  graduation  in  1807  he  received  one  of  the  highest  honors  of  the 
institution.  After  a  year  devoted  to  teaching  at  Litchfield  South  Farms 
he  studied  theology  with  Rev.  Ebenezer  Porter,  at  Washington,  Conn., 
graduated  at  Andover,  Mass.,  and  was  licensed  to  preach  by  the  Essex 
Middle  Association  of  Massachusetts.  In  September,  1811,  he  married 
Minerva,  daughter  of  General  Potter,  of  Plymouth,  where  he  received 
a  call  and  was  ordained  the  year  previous,  the  sermon  on  the  occasion 
being  preached  by  his  tutor,  Rev.  Ebenezer  Porter.  This  marriage 
connection  is  said  to  have  contributed  greatly  to  his  comfort  and  use- 
fulness. Great  accessions  were  made  to  the  church  there  in  1812, 
1824,  1827,  and  1831.  Some  500  were  added  during  his  ministry.  In 
1818  he  aided  in  the  publication  of  doctrinal  tracts,  also  in  the  estab- 
lishment of  the  Christian  Spectator,  and  contributed  largely  to  both. 
On  the  18th  of  April,  1834,  he  was  seized  with  lung  fever,  which  at 
first  was  not  deemed  alarming,  but  on  the  25th  terminated  fatally.  He 
passed  away  in  the  triumphs  of  faith.  Rev.  Noah  Porter,  of  Farming- 
ton,  preached  his  funeral  sermon,  and  it  was  published  in  the  Christian 
Spectator.  The  Rev.  Laurens  P.  Hickok,  of  Auburn,  N.  Y,  says  of 
Mr.  Hart:  "One  of  his  marked  characteristics  was  an  indescribable 
expression  of  cheerfulness  and  hearty  good  will,  diffusing  its  sweet 
savor  wherever  he  was,  so  that  his  presence  and  society  were  always 
sought."  He  had  a  quick  and  keen  discernment  of  men  and  things. 
His  intercourse  with  his  church  and  people  was  very  frank  and  familiar. 
His  manner  of  preaching  was  serious,  pungent,  and  discriminating. 
His  sermons  abounded  less  in  long  drawn  argument,  but  were  exceed- 
ingly rich  in  condensed,  sententious  thoughts,  and  concise  declarations. 
He  died  at  Plymouth,  April  25th,  1834,  aged  51  years.  Their  only 
child,  Luther  Potter,  died  August  28th,  1829,  aged  5  months.

Buffalo,  N.  Y. 

"William  Austin  Hart,  Buffalo,  N.  Y.,  eldest  son  of  Aaron,  of 
"Wallingf ord  and  Barkhamsted,  and  his  wife,  Annis  (Austin),  born  Jan- 
uary 13th,  1797,  at  Barkhamsted,  Conn.;  married  January  22d,  1821, 
Mary  Ann  Sumorton,  of  Sempronius,  N.  Y.,  born,  February,  1801. 
He  was  a  gunsmith  at  Buffalo,  N.  Y.,  and  learned  his  trade  at  Hart- 
ford;  Conn.,  where  he  spent  several  years  in  gunsmithing  and  making 
cutlery.  A  very  lengthy  article  was  published  at  Buffalo  as  an  eulogy 
and  obituary  at  his  decease,  August  9th,  1865,  aged  68  years,  in  the 
Daily  Courier  of  August,  1865,  in  which  his  character  as  a  man  and 
Christian  is  highly  extolled.  Mr.  Hart  was  a  natural  mechanic,  and 
took  out  the  first  patent  for  a  percussion  lock  when  the  old  flint  lock 
was  given  up.  This  patent  is  dated  February  20th,  1 827,  and  is  signed 
John  Quincy  Adams,  President,  Henry  Clay,  Secretary  of  State,  and 
William  Wirt,  Attorney-General.  It  sets  forth  that  William  A.  Hart 
has  invented  a  new  and  useful  improvement  in  the  percussion  gun 
lock  for  rifles,  muskets,  fowling-pieces,  pistols,  &c,  called  "Hart's  Per- 
cussion Chen  Lock"  The  improvement  in  those  days  attracted  no  little 
attention,  and  on  the  23d  of  February  the  commissioner  of  patents 
wrote  him  a  congratulatory  letter,  in  which  he  said,  "I  am  pleased  to 
find  so  much  genius  accompanied  with  so  much  morality."  He  became 
a  member  of  the  Episcopal  Church  at  Fredonia,  N.  Y.,  where  he  re- 
sided for  a  time.  When  he  removed  to  Buffalo  he  joined  Trinity 
Church,  and  became  a  vestry-man,  and  subsequently  assisted  in  organ- 
izing St.  John's  Church,  of  which  he  was  a  constituent  member.  His 
widow  died  May  3d,  1871,  aged  70  years.

and  one  was  groomsman.  There  were  also  present  the  children  of 
Rev.  Burdett  Hart  and  Norman  Lee  Hart,  of  Philadelphia,  and  their 
wives,  and  Mrs.  Ellen  H.  "Wells,  of  New  Britain,  and  all  the  grandchil-

Hart.  He  is  the  sole  survivor  of  his  father's  family.  An  appropriate

Alfred  Andrews,  the  historian  of  New  Britain,  in  which  he  particularly- 
referred  to  the  good  services  of  prominent  ancestors  of  both  families 
in  civil,  ecclesiastical,  and  military  affairs.  A  poem,  written  by  Mrs. 
Ellen  H.  Wells  for  the  occasion,  was  read,  as  well  as  a  longer  one,  by 
Mrs.  Almira  Hart  Lincoln  Phelps,  of  Baltimore.  The  occasion  was 
one  of  great  interest  in  New  Britain,  and  one  which  will  be  long  and 
pleasantly  remembered  by  all  who  enjoyed  the  exercises  and  festivities 
of  this  delightful  family  re-union.  Deacon  and  Mrs.  Hart  are  in  the 
enjoyment  of  a  ripe  and  vigorous  old  age,  promising  them  yet  many

medical  lectures  per  day,  and  run  in  debt  for  half  the  lectures.  He 
started  for  home  in  the  spring  of  1844  with  $1.50,  paid  $1  for  deck 
passage  to  Harmar,  and  for  lack  of  funds  went  thirty-six  hours  with- 
out eating,  when  he  landed,  and  found  Dr.  Seth  Hart  very  sick.  He 
took  care  of  him  and  his  patients  the  best  he  could,  and  in  November 
went  four  miles  up  the  Ohio  River,  to  the  mouth  of  the  Muskingum, 
where  he  began  business,  soon  had  a  large  practice,  and  in  two  years 
had  paid  all' his  debts  for  tuition,  horse,  house,  library,  and  office. 
Having  a  large  practice  over  the  Ohio,  in  Virginia,  he  relinquished  his 
business  in  Ohio  to  his  brother,  Simeon,  and  removed  to  Bull  Creek, 
Wood  County,  Va.,  where  he  remained  two  years.  He  married  Octo- 
ber 19th,  1848,  Sally  M.,  daughter  of  Thomas  Alcock,  of  Marietta, 
Ohio,  and  his  wife,  Sally  Holliday  (Wells),  born  December  27th,  1830,

near  Marietta,  and  united  with  the  Congregational  Church  at  Harmar, 
Ohio,  in  1855.  Dr.  Hart  removed  from  Virginia  to  Harmar  in  1849, 
where  he  followed  the  practice  of  medicine  until  1863,  when  he  re- 
moved to  Marietta.  At  the  breaking  out  of  the  rebellion  in  1861  he 
was  active  in  furnishing  the  Union  soldiers  with  such  medicines  as  they 
were  likely  to  need;  he  also  saw  to  the  wants  of  those  families  whose 
fathers  had  gone  to  the  war.  In  IS 62  he  spent  much  time  and  money 
in  visiting  the  battle-fields — all  gratuitously.  He  went  to  Pittsburgh 
Landing  and  Shiloh,  Tenn.,  collected  as  many  of  the  sick  and  wounded 
as  the  boat  would  accommodate,  (some  300,)  brought  them  to  Cincin- 
nati, and  returned  again  for  more.  Thus  he  spent  some  months  in 
visiting  Gettysburg,  Frederick  City,  Baltimore,  and  Washington.  He 
was  assistant  surgeon  in  pursuit  of  the  rebel  general,  Morgan,  appointed 
by  Governor  Brough,  with  rank  of  major.  His  face  is  represented  on 
the  opposite  page.  In  1875  he  is  still  following  his  profession  in  Ma- 
rietta. Mrs.  Hart  is  a  woman  of  intelhgence,  energy,  and  benevolence, 
and  an  artist  as  well  as  a  good  housewife.  She  is  interested  in  mission 
and  Sunday  Schools,  and  every  good  work.

Obituary  Notice  from  a  Daily  Paper. 
11  Theodore  Henry  Hart  was  born  in  Harford,  Cortland  County, 
N.  Y.,  January  26th,  1831;  died  in  Philadelphia,  Penn.,  April  12th, 
1861.  While  a  junior  in  college  Mr.  Hart  made  a  public  profession  of 
religion,  and  united  with  the  Congregational  Church  of  Canandaigua, 
N.  Y.  In  the  fall  of  1853  he  entered  the  Union  Theological  Seminary, 
but  was  compelled,  by  loss  of  health,  to  leave  for  a  warmer  climate. 
This  breaking  up  of  his  cherished  plans  he  reconciled  himself  to  by 
helping  a  number  of  young  men  in  preparing  for  the  ministry.  He 
engaged  in  active  business  in  Philadelphia,  and  was  very  successful. 
In  1857  he  visited  Europe,  and  sent  home  sketches  of  travel,  that  were 
published  in  the  Northern  Independent.  They  reveal  a  genial  nature, 
with  the  nice  tastes  of  the  scholar,  and  such  pleasant  power  of  expres- 
sion, that  they  deserve  to  be  preserved  in  a  more  permanent  form. 
Mr.  Hart's  life  was  short,  but  was  filled  up  with  acts  of  usefulness  and 
charitable  beneficence,  and  was  rich  with  tokens,  that  it  answered  life's 
great  end.    He  leaves  a  wife  and  one  son,  who  bears  his  name."

tion,"  the  first  anti-slavery  sermon  ever  preached  in  that  city.  It  cre- 
ated a  great  excitement,  and  led  to  much  discussion  in  the  press. 
Thirty  lawyers  were  present.  The  church,  during  his  short  pastorate, 
increased  nearly  threefold.  On  leaving  he  received  a  unanimous  call 
to  become  their  pastor.  Perhaps  the  most  important  work  of  his  life 
has  been  done  in  Philadelphia.  It  was  owing  to  his  influence  that  the 
Congregational  Churches  have  been  planted  there.  Dr.  J.  P.  Thomp- 
son once  said  to  him — '  I  could  not  understand  why  you  were  removed 
from  Fair  Haven;  but  in  the  planting  of  Congregationalism  in  Phila- 
delphia I  see  the  reason.'  And  many  have  said  to  him — 'the  work 
you  have  done  here  is  vastly  more  important  than  you  could  have  done 
in  Fair  Haven.'  By  personal  effort  he  enlisted  a  sufficient  number  of 
New  Englanders  to  organize  a  church.  Soon  after  he  moved  for  a 
second  church  in  another  section  of  the  city.  Now  they  have  two 
vigorous  churches  of  that  order  there.  The  Central  Church  has  just 
finished  its  ecclesiastical  buildings,  which,  with  the  land,  cost  $120,000, 
and  has  a  membership  of  over  200.  The  Plymouth  Church  has  a  com- 
modious chapel,  and  a  membership  of  about  100.  The  future  of  both 
seems  to  be  assured.  This  work  has  not  been  confined  to  Philadelphia. 
Churches  have  followed  at  Baltimore,  "Washington,  Vineland,  and  other 
places  holding  Congregational  principles.  It  is  said  the  establishing  of 
the  Congregational  Church  in  Washington  was  owing  to  his  influence. 
It  would  be  impossible  to  measure  the  extent  of  this  work.  The 
Church  of  the  Pilgrims,  which  he  organized  in  Vineland,  N.  J.,  a 
flourishing  and  interesting  community  of  10,000  inhabitants,  thirty- 
four  miles  south  of  Philadelphia,  has  prospered.  Its  membership  has 
gone  up  from  twenty-four  to  seventy -three.  He  was  urged  to  become 
the  permanent  pastor.  Quite  a  number  of  his  sermons,  as  well  as 
articles,  have  been  published  in  the  New  Englander."

March  4th,  1859,  in  Charlestown,  Mass.,  aged  27  years.  They  were 
both  buried  in  Mount  Auburn.  The  following  obituary  notice  is  from 
a  newspaper: 

"Mrs.  Carrie  E.  Pratt,  daughter  of  Selah  Hart,  Esq.,  formerly  of 
New  Britain,  Conn.,  died  in  Charlestown,  Mass.,  on  Thursday,  March 
3d,  1860.  In  her  decease  not  only  her  husband  and  parents  and  im- 
mediate relatives  have  sustained  a  great  loss,  but  a  far  wider  circle,  to 
whom  she  was  greatly  endeared  by  her  Christian  graces,  refinement, 
and  labors  of  love.  She  had  charge  of  the  infant  department  in  the 
Sunday  School  of  which  her  husband  was  superintendent,  and  we  learn 
that  the  services  of  the  Sabbath  preceding  her  death  were  virtually  a 
united  prayer  meeting  for  her  recovery.  The  afflicted  parents  will  have 
the  sincerest  sympathy  of  all  who  knew  them  here  in  this  second  be- 
reavement." 

An  obituary  notice  of  her  child,  Willys  Herbert,  a  very  extraordi- 
nary lovely  child,  mentioned  above,  was  published  in  the  Sunday  School 
World  of  the  period,  occupying  one  and  a  half  columns  of  the  paper 
too  lengthy  for  our  space.

The  following  narrative  and  pedigree  was  kindly  furnished  by  Rev. 
C.  H.  Hart,  now  of  Logan,  Ohio: 

JOSEPH  HART  AND  HIS  DESCENDANTS. 

Joseph  Hart  was  born  in  Botetourt  County,  Ya.,  June  22d,  1760. 
The  Christian  names  of  his  father  and  mother  I  am  not  able  to  give. 
The  maiden  name  of  his  mother  was  Stout.  She,  with  a  brother  older 
than  herself,  came  from  "Wales,  G.  B.,  about  the  year  1750,  and  settled 
in  South  Carolina,  where  a  Mr.  Hart  was  married  to  Miss  Stout,  prob- 
ably in  the  year  1758.  One  child,  Joseph,  was  born  to  them,  and  dur- 
ing his  infancy  the  mother  died.  The  father  married  a  second  time. 
Of  his  children  by  the  second  wife  I  can  not  speak.  When  Joseph 
was  eighteen  or  twenty  years  of  age  the  family  moved  to  the  colony 
of  Tennessee,  on  to  the  French  Broad  River. 

During  the  last  year  of  the  revalutionary  war  Joseph  became  a  sol- 
dier in  the  continental  army,  and  in  the  third  month  of  his  soldier  life 
he  was  engaged  in  a  battle  with  the  British  and  tories,  in  which  he 
was  wounded  in  the  right  hip,  and  from  which  he  did  not  recover  until 
after  peace  was  declared.  In  the  year  1785  Joseph  Hart  was  married 
to  Miss  Nancy  Shanklin,  of  East  Tennessee,  and  settled  in  Blount 
County,  near  Maryville.  To  them  there  were  born  six  children,  viz: 
Edward,  Thomas,  Elizabeth,  Joseph,  Gideon  Blackburn,  and  Silas.  In 
1810  the  mother  died,  and  the  father  married  his  second  wife— Miss 
Mary  Means,  of  Blount  County,  in  the  year  1812.  To  them  were  born 
five  sons,  viz:  William,  Samuel,  James  Harvey,  Isaac  Anderson,  and 
Charles  Coffin.  These  eleven  children  were  all  born  in  Blount  County, 
Tennessee. 

In  October,  1821,  Mr.  Hart,  with  his  wife  and  four  younger  sons, 
emigrated  to  Indiana,  and  settled  on  Clifty  Creek,  in  Bartholomew 
County.  Here  Gideon  B.  soon  joined  the  family,  he  having  gone  to 
Vincennes,  on  the  Wabash,  the  year  before.  Before  leaving  Tennes- 
see Isaac  Anderson,  the  ninth  son,  was  choked  to  death  with  a  grain 
of  coffee  before  he  was  two  years  old.  William,  the  sixth  son,  was 
drowned  in  Clifty  Creek  while  bathing,  June  6th,  1826,  aged  14  years. 
Mr.  Hart  buried  his  second  wife  September  11th,  1827. 

The  most  remarkable  feature  of  Joseph  Hart's  character  was  his 
deep,  fervent,  practical  piety.    He  was  converted  in  early  life,  and  for

a  journey  of  600  miles,  to  the  mouth  of  the  "Wabash  River,  thence  to

"  Item.    I  give  and  bequeath  unto  her  (i.  e.,  his  sister  Joan),  three 

sons  William  Hart,    Hart,*  and  Michael  Hart,  five  pounds 

apiece,  to  be  paid  one  year  after  my  decease." 

I  quote  the  above  from  an  edition  of  Shakespeare  published  in  1656. 

It  seems  that  he  bequeathed  to  this  sister  (Joan)  20  pounds,  his 
wearing  apparel,  "  and  the  house  in  Stratford  wherein  she  dwelleth, 
for  her  natural  life,  under  the  yearly  rent  of  twelve  pence." 

*Malone  sajs  :  "It  is  singular  that  neither  Shakspeare  nor  any  of  his  family  should 
have  recollected  the  name  of  his  nephew,  who  was  born  at  Stratford  but  eleven  years 
before  the  making  of  his  will.  His  christian  name  was  Thomas ;  and  he  was  bap- 
tized in  that  town  July  24,  1605."
